HI Steve
Floor pan went in gr8 lined up well.... went in easyer than I thought it would and Im real happy with it:D .....
Thanks for your pic's of your convertion looks good....... the only thing is the way the gauge panel looks it looks out of line an that was the thing I found when I done mine but its only tacked in at the momment an I going to try to work out if I can get it to line up better...... but am happy with the way the glovebox went in.
What are you going to do for your brake an boster bracket that bolts in with steering colem under the dash???

SirGeo

:rolleyes: nope the roof is going to be replaced too :D

Everything is going together with out much of a prob.....
I did deside if there was rust in any panels that I would replace them as I rebuilt to many cars and where I live have seen the rust come back an I dont want that with the camaro ..

Great progress.

I am in the process of installing the astro balls have the whole kit and all the plumbing but I need templates for the location each side of the dash. I notice your dash has the holes, is it possible that I got some location templates for the main hole and the button hole off you? Paul

MAN........ your a crazy mofo!

This build up is insane... :eek:

I sincerely hope I don't have to go through what you are....

Atleast your car is going to be like it just come off the showroom though.
